Research Focus:

🔬 Dr. Linjing Mu’s research focus lies at the intersection of neuroimaging and drug development, particularly in the field of molecular imaging for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Their work encompasses the development and optimization of radioligands targeting specific molecular pathways implicated in neurodegeneration. Through PET/MRI studies and the exploration of novel PET tracers, such as (R)-[18F]YH134 and (R)-[18F]PSS232, Dr. Mu aims to deepen our understanding of disease mechanisms and identify potential therapeutic targets. This research not only sheds light on disease pathology but also paves the way for the development of new diagnostic tools and pharmacological interventions.
